  • Reading: Masters of Light: the Science Behind Nature's Brightest
    Masters of Light: The Science Behind Nature’s Brightest Colors JULIA ROTHCHILD DECEMBER 30, 2014 0 In the sands of the Yukon Territory in Canada, a scientist found a beetle embedded with nano-scale diamonds. The insect was a small, brown member of the weevil family. It was plated with hollow scales, inside each of which expanses of nano-crystals had grown. Every diamond was placed exactly the same distance apart, yielding a formidably regular array that extended up and down and side to side, filling the insides of the beetle’s scales with a rigid, repeating matrix. The insect unearthed in the Yukon sand had been preserved for over half a million years as a fossil. Yale researchers inspected the preserved material using high energy X-rays at Argonne National Laboratory in Chicago in order to study the configuration of crystals. Although the structures they discovered are especially beautiful and intriguing, diamond-filled scales are not unique: many creatures alive today grow identical or similar nano-size arrays. Animals grow these sorts of structures because they are optical powerhouses. By manipulating light, the crystals allow animals to produce brilliant colors that are otherwise unattainable. Making Blue Consider the color blue. There are no blue bears in the world. There are no blue crocodiles either. There are also no blue kangaroos, blue bumblebees, blue cats, or blue dogs. There aren’t very many blue animals in the world, period, because blue is a difficult color to make. Most of the other colors of the rainbow arise straightforwardly in nature from chemicals, called pigments, that animals collect in their skin, feathers, and hair.
